McGregor Assisted Living sits on a big 45-acre estate in East Cleveland, where the place has nice views of Lake Erie and downtown, and it's been around since 1904, having started as the McGregor Home, later joining with the Home for Aged Women and the Amasa Stone House to form The Gardens of McGregor & Amasa Stone, and the whole place gets its direction from The McGregor Foundation, which runs it as a nonprofit. Folks living here can choose between studio and one-bedroom suites, with options for senior apartments, assisted living, independent living, memory care, rehab, respite care in Vacation Suites, skilled nursing, long-term care, and hospice, and every unit's got walk-in showers, basic cable TV, housekeeping, laundry on each floor, and individually controlled heating and air. The staff is made up of nurses, aides, and other licensed team members who are there all day and night-helping with medicine, diabetes care, moving around, and meals, and everybody's got an emergency call system if they need help quick.
The place makes it easy for folks to stay active and social, with art classes, music, gardening, yoga, literature groups, and other recreation, plus religious services, games, movie nights, and theme parties, which help people keep up friendships and keep busy if they want to. There's a beauty and barber salon, a private spa, a dining room for restaurant-style meals, and staff take people out to group activities with rides available. Outdoors, there are gardens, patios, and walking paths, where people can sit and talk or enjoy a walk, and the neighborhood's near medical centers like the Cleveland Clinic - Cole Eye Institute and Stephanie Tubbs Jones Health Center, as well as parks and cafes if residents want to get out and about. The staff keeps the premises safe with 24-hour security, and there's a strong focus on both keeping people as independent as possible while also helping them when they need it, and there's always maintenance-free living because things like trash, mail, and repairs get handled for you.
McGregor's got a long history of taking care of seniors with less money too, providing housing and care covered by Medicare and Medicaid for those who qualify. The campus has several types of buildings and floor plans, with studios around 330 square feet and one-bedrooms about 568 square feet, giving people choices based on what they need, and all the gardens, big trees, patios, and courtyards make the surroundings pleasant without being too busy or overwhelming. Folks can get help as their needs change, since McGregor's part of a continuing care retirement community, so if someone's care situation goes from assisted living to needing skilled nursing or something else, it all happens right there without the hassle of having to leave the place they know. Meals are provided to save people from cooking, and there's always a focus on comfort, safety, and making daily life easier, so when families come looking for a place that looks after both the health and happiness of their loved ones, it can be good to know what McGregor offers.
